Pancakes are awesome but blueberry pancakes (with the blueberries in the batter) are even more awesome.

Thinking about all the ai scandals and wondering, doesn’t everybody have all the old versions of their work cluttering their hard drives? If someone accused me of using ai, I could pull up countless previous versions of a piece from my computer not to mention printed copies with my scribbled notes.

This week’s mystery movie at the local theater was The Ice Cream Man. At least it was short.

I believe in the Oxford comma, as much as I believe in serial killers, rotator cuff injuries and spontaneous diarrhea, none of which I also want in my life

Big talk from a guy who doesn’t believe in the Oxford comma, I don’t wanna hear NOTHIN grammatical from you

Because everything is on Wikipedia

Willing myself to believe that this rejection was a tiered one:

Hey. Do something kind. For no reason but that it's cool when people do kind shit. Kindness is punk as fuck. That is all.

If I ever win the lottery, I’m going to give away a big chunk of the money by sending out Nigerian prince emails and whoever actually responds will get the money, just to mess with people’s expectations.

My first acceptance of the year.

Definitely worth the click.

Does anyone know what’s going on with Cimarron Review? I’ve had a submission lingering there for 14 months now and I’m wondering if they’re still publishing.

There’s an advertisement on my fortune. We are truly in the bad place.

Fucking search & replace.

Giancarlo Esposito really makes everything he’s in that much better.

Whoa, Normal is a wild wild film. (Currently available on Kanopy). I suggest going into it knowing nothing more than it has Bob Odenkirk and the title.

Saw the Invite tonight. It felt like watching a Woody Allen film but without the moral discomfort that comes with watching an actual Woody Allen film. For me at least, this was a good thing. I think it helped that I went into the movie knowing nothing more than the title & the cast.

Oh man, this is really good. The people at the piano man bar good.

Now, the opening line, you have: 🎶 "Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Satan. Hello there!" 🎶 I wonder if that gives away the game a little bit early. Maybe just keep the first sentence?

i know you’re looking for it. here she is, girls. here she is, world

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

I was watching MInions and Monsters with my kids today and at one point one of the characters in the movie said, “we ran out of film” and my daughter asked me, “what’s film?” 💀

My picks for today’s matches: Colombia and Argentina out of pan-Latin solidarity. Does anyone else expect the Swiss team to just stand around not interfering during their matches.

Today’s picks for the World Cup Spain v. Portugal. 🇪🇸 because how come Portugal is a country and not Galicia or Catalonia? Belgium v. US. 🇧🇪 because they have better beer and healthcare and environmental policy and really just about everything.

So all the -guays are out of the World Cup so this will not be the year for my dream Uruguay-Paraguay matchup. My teams to cheer for today¹: Norway v. Brazil. 🇳🇴. Their fans seem fun with the whole rowing up the escalator thing. Mexico v. England. 🇲🇽. My ex-wife’s country of origin and where I will

Hey Apple, I don’t need Siri to fucking make decisions for me but it would be nice if you fix the broken set an alarm/timer functionality that worked last week but now just silently doesn’t do shit.

Absolute banger of an obituary in the Seattle Times today, rest in peace Judy

"The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted.” -- D.H. Lawrence America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up

Once you understand the moral psychology of America's immaturity, everything about America's 250th birthday makes sense.

I guess those fireworks last night weren’t to celebrate that it finally happened.

Shout out to Ginny Stroud from Dazed and Confused this Fourth of July and 250th birthday celebration.

Woody Guthrie wrote a lot of verses to “This land is your land” they didn’t teach you in school.
